SlickSamos Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 I was further behind on model building than I thought... However, I now have my Breachers (minus one head) and Assault Squads built Breacher Squad: Veteran Breacher Squad (missing one head!): A selection of various Marines with Jump Packs: The resin Jump Packs are from MaxMini - they're a bit fragile (intake cowling especially) but look lovely! Now I need to: find / make a lot of should pads for my Bikes; finish of a few Terminators; lump together enough dudes with Bolters to fill out a few squads; and, build my Recon Marines with Snipers! librisrouge, Corswain, WrathOfTheLion and 8 others 11 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/363129-30k-hobby-chat/page/174/#findComment-6152378 Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you remove the little locator nubs on things like the legs you can get more out of the posing but if you leave them on he'll go together pretty stress free.

LameBeard Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 (edited) Long have I admired the maximini jump packs. This evening I finally returned to my World Eaters, to build some despoilers or possibly veterans. It was very frustrating. I spent so much time dropping things on the floor and then looking for them any observer would assume it was a ritual I observed before any gluing. Anything I have glued is super fragile. And I’m still not sold on the chainsword dude even though I already broke it off a different guy. Last guy might get 2-handed chainsword or it might be off to the bits shop for shotguns.

SlickSamos Posted January 17 Share Posted January 17 Thank you all for the support! I really like what you've done with the new plastics! I think the hand isn't quite in-line with arm, so perhaps turn the hand inwards so that the blade goes across the body slightly?

An especial effort, since the bits seller sent me two right arms and hands by accident. They were really nice about it and refunded me because the left ones had all gone … so I try to make do with what I have. Except those shotguns look tempting … I am an addict it appears. calgar101 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/363129-30k-hobby-chat/page/174/#findComment-6152646 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be horrendous if it was the thumbs. Looked like a small part of the shoulder assembly. I've not looked at the box since because still building my list of bits to add. Speaking of, those new Custodes, I do like. I'm hoping the Shield Captain either has parts for a Spear option or is easy enough to kitbash because you know, iconic Custodes weapon.

SlickSamos Posted January 19 Share Posted January 19 (edited) I stole the Sanguinary Guard wing idea off of the internet! Found it! https://battlebunnies.blogspot.com/2015/01/emperor-children-breacher-squad.html?m=1 The kit was great even for Emperor's Children as it came with 5 sets of fancy Artificer Armour, 10 Breaching Shields and 5 Mk. IV style Jump Packs. I also grabbed some models 2nd hand which had no wings for additional Jump Packs and Artificer Armour which I'm so pleased that I did! In other news the man doing his best Ferrus impression now isn't (he got better) and the last few Tactical Marines are now assembled except for shoulder pads, but no pictures as they went straight into a box...

Pacific81 Posted Saturday at 08:25 AM Share Posted Saturday at 08:25 AM Finished a War Hounds Predator. The new Vallejo metallics worked nicely again even on large flat surfaces.

lokkorex Posted 21 hours ago Share Posted 21 hours ago First 30k model of the year built, as well as the first model for my Solar Auxilia: I bought the normal kit as a christmas gift for myself, then bought the Infernus variant as well because I like the sponsons from that kit more, since tge normal ones give me too much of a WW1 vibe. Lasers all around, since my Auxilia will be subservient to my Iron Warriors who will consider wasting valuable munitions on mere mortals as a waste...
